Mini Rex Colours

[TinysMom]

I understand getting mixed up.

Trying to figure out non-lionhead colors - or colors in areas other than the US can make me do this....:banghead for LONG periods of time!

Polly explained to me that that a REW is white a coloured rabbit wearing a white cloak, so it will have a colour that it should have been (in this instance bunbun said a castor) but the genetics meant it ended up with the white cloak instead of the castor it should. I think that's what bunbun was getting at, and I'm sure Polly's explanation was better than mine, but that was the general gist, lol.

It is called white in Mini Rex. Maybe not where you live but I have been to Mini Rex Nationals and know what most call it, have you? I have researched and owned Mini Rex for almost 10 years. Some people say REW but it is normally called white in Mini Rex, just like it is castor not chestnut.

As for the REW genes you did take wrong what I said. As Flashy explained the cc is a masking color, not the color it self. If you take the cc away you have the actual color the rabbit is.

I'm glad I got your meaning bunbunbunb, I would have looked a bit stupid if I too had misunderstood it and explained it wrong to Emily, lol. Your explanation makes perfect sense to me, and it will be stored for later regurgitation, lol.
